Is This The Caddy You've Been Waiting For? | 2020 Cadillac XT6

Cadillac shoppers have been demanding a 3-row crossover that’s roomy but easier to park than an Escalade. Is the XT6 that crossover? In a nutshell: yes and no. It’s certainly the Cadillac of GM’s crossover lineup and the interior is well crafted and comfortable, but the premium price tag may be hard for some shoppers to accept.

I just picked up my 2022 XT6 Premium Luxury earlier this week and I absolutely love it! Great value for the money, premium features, smooth ride, good tech and solid fit and finish. Glad to finally buy an American brand again.

I like it! Great 3rd row room. And, I agree, that powertrain is really seamless and smooth!

[rununow]

hands down. Best auto review. I always watch your video thoroughly before considering any vehicle. The depth you cover is unmatchable.

No way I'd spend 70k on this when we now have Hyundai/Kia killing it for less then 50k

I think you are being far too kind to this car. It's a warmed-over GMC being rushed to fill a hole in Cadillac's lineup. The front seats are far below the competition in adjustability, there's only basic adaptive cruise-control rather than SuperCruise, the gauge cluster and engine are from the Chevrolet parts bin, and the cargo room is sub-standard. I would buy a Telluride in heartbeat before buying this car, to say nothing of the more premium brands. We actually owned a 2004 SRX and even that car was less premium than it could have been, but it was unique in terms of capabilities and dimensions at the time. There's far superior competition now.

Very nice looking car. But I still think that you could load up the new Toyota Highlander and get better bang for buck with basically same features.

The XT6 is really pretty and practical, but that’s about all it has going for it as far as I’m concerned. Quality doesn’t measure up to the price tag, the 400 badge is less than meaningless, and it’s FWD in a sea of RWD competitors. It doesn’t bring anything new to the game. It’s not off-road capable, it’s not terribly sporty, and it’s not extra comfortable comfortable. It’s very average and average just doesn’t do in today’s world

[peterdyloco]

The problem with having too many brands is the inability to price this competitively, particularly given the proliferation of once "premium" features downmarket. Even if you were to shop purely within the GM portfolio, there's absolutely no reason to buy one of these over the Enclave Avenir. In typical GM fashion they'll probably lease this out at MDX pricing to get any sort of meaningful volume.

Cadillacs are supposed to have full sized seats. For a Cadillac to have a seat bottom with a short ledge is completely counter to what a Cadillac should be no matter the characteristics the company might be targeting.
In person the Aviator is very beautiful and though I love Cadillacs I’d say that its real presence takes up a place in a driveway more regally than the Xt6. Lincoln’s seats are most likely going to become hallmarks for the brand and expected in all of Lincoln’s vehicles eventually in contrast.
I have a feeling that Ford is waiting to send Alex an Aviator until they’re confident that they’re sending a product produced after they correct some known production problems with their new plant. I have a feeling that there will be a software update for the transmission and then they’ll send Alex an Aviator to review.
Hope that goads Lincoln into sending you one soon.
Good luck Alex

My first time watching one of your videos! Thank you for being so thorough in your explanation!
Especially with showing us the second and third row of the vehicle.

Is it just me or is every vehicle by GM overpriced by 10-20k?

[bextar]

All new 2021 Genesis GV-80 blows it away for less

[amininshassi]

Wow Alex. This SUV is amazing! The XT6 is totally worth the price.

[robertzoch]

Just got a Sport AWD demo model (60k sticker) for 44k and change after all available discounts. Felt like a good deal.

[qja]

It's really funny to see a lot of reviewers and normal peoples compare the XT6 with the KIA Telluride and Hyundai Palisade.

Anyway the Cadillac XT6 in my opinion is a HUGE let down. Boring interior, small touch screen and overpriced.

[TheMichaelRN]

Seen it in person, it actually looks nice. Not a fan of vertical turn signals though.

[imnotusingmyrealname]

Honesty I love Cadillacs naming scheme because I'm slightly into engineering. 😅

[missye]

Is that SD card slot dedicated to the navigation system? My mother has the CT6 2019 and that is the case. I wish they would bring back live record/rewind for the radio.

[trilingualkid]

I stopped watching at 10:00 how is the designer of CUE not fired?

[broosewee]

The Volvo XC90 is still ahead overall. The pricing, style, and efficiency is just better. This coming from an XC90 owner.... I know I know, biased.
